Whereas a female gorilla will mate about ten times for every baby that is born, a female chimpanzee will mate five hundred to a thousand times and bonobo up to three thousand times. A female bonobo is rarely harassed by a nearby male for mating with a more junior male: mating is so frequent that it rarely leads to conception. Indeed, the whole anatomy of male aggression is reduced in bonobos: males are no larger than females and spend less energy trying to rise in the male hierarchy than ordinary chimpanzees. The best strategy for a male bonobo intent on genetic eternity is to eat his greens, get a good night's sleep and prepare for a long day of fornication. (查看原文)

看这书名怎么也没想到会是本极好的进化论科普著作——不考虑翻译的问题。

介绍了相关的多个层次问题,还算综合全面;翻译质量一般,台湾人的译本在大陆出版时没有充分地将术语译法大陆化

进化有其目的性。人类会走向何方,我们仍不知道。进化论用来解释已有生物现象很成功,但用来预测未来很无力。
